Downloading multiple files with wget and handling parameters
This code was provided to read urls from a text file filelist, then run a loop to download each.
#!/usr/bin/env bash
while read line
do
wget -c --load-cookies cookies.txt $line -O ${line##*/}
done < filelist
As I'm not familiar with shell scripts, I am wondering if you could download multiple xml files by:
- creating a simple comma seperated text file filelist
- read from:
filelist
renamedfile.xml, url-01.php
renamedFileDifferent.xml, url-02.php
specificFileRename.xml, "url-03"
newFilename.xml, "url-04"
- read through each line
- split the line into newfile, remoteFile
And run:
wget -O newfile remoteFile >/dev/null 2>&1
Is it possible to write this in a shell script? Can you provide an example?
